10 Underappreciated Marvel Superheroes Who Deserve Their Own Movies

Introduced in Tomb of Dracula #10 in 1973, Blade was eventually permitted his own series, Blade: The Vampire Hunter, making numerous guest appearances alongside Captain Britain, Doctor Strange, The Punisher and Captain America. Blade: Crescent City Blues and Blade: Sins of the Father include perhaps the most well-known versions of the character.

Blade – unlike other examples on this list – has been given the cinematic treatment before, managing a decent two instalments and a disappointing third. That said, the character has an interesting backstory – as well as a collection of unusual villains – and deserves another stab at the big time, one connected to the current MCU.

Introducing the character wouldn’t be easy – mainly because vampires haven’t yet been established within the larger cinematic universe – which might prove a difficult pill to swallow. That said, the character would make a worthy addition, and is well worth the effort.
